In light of current fuel shortages, it’s important we remember that not everyone is able to go car-free or buy an electric car. The UK’s inadequate public transport infrastructure means that choosing to ditch your fossil fuel powered car for environmental reasons is a privilege.

Full speed ahead from the farming-friendly Holocene where even in a 1.5C world (not happening) we get periodic 3C years. "An unprecedented life" indeed. And they wonder why the kids are depressed. https://t.co/l7Hsgks4UN

The study authors note the findings are "conservative" and young people they say euphemistically will live an "unprecedented life." Can we not say it? Extreme instability, starvation, social breakdown, war. https://t.co/8ezhWc7o3X

I know the risks involved, but I swim in rivers most days, as I love it so much. Until now, I’ve been lucky. But after a dip in the Thames yesterday, I’ve spent a night and a day throwing up. Thanks for all the💩@thameswater.
This is a tragedy. Without proportional representation, this country is stuffed for the foreseeable.
What were they thinking? https://t.co/AkgbayfDdr
Every so often, a handful of inordinately privileged men sets us against each other, tears the country apart and leaves a trail of ruined lives.
Then we brush ourselves down, spend a few years forgetting it, and vote another handful of them into office.
Having spent the day throwing up the results of Tory corruption, I'm somewhat disappointed that Keir Starmer has gone cold on public ownership of water.
That might keep Rupert Murdoch off his back, but it means we'll keep wallowing in our own shit.
Literally. And metaphorically.
The shit in our rivers is a direct result of withholding investment, so that the money can be channelled into shareholders' pockets instead. If there is a good argument against renationalising the water companies, I have yet to see it.

Maybe we should ignore those trolls and move on.
The tragedy is that if @Keir_Starmer forced an info campaign, on TV and in papers, telling the full truth of climate change, that we’re forcing our kids off a cliff, the public would demand action and he could get into power.

Wait, why is the UK "facing an energy crisis" just before COP 26? No, really, why?
This 'debate' about net zero by 2050 is farcical. As the PM says, it is silent about what must happen right now. That's why the fossil fuel lobby is happy to endorse it.
What it /should/ mean, as the IEA makes clear: no new fossil fuels of any kind, from right now.
But you all tried and failed to axe the Renewable Energy Target, including support for household solar.
And you tried and failed to axe Australia’s renewable energy agencies.
And you now have a renewable energy target of 0%. https://t.co/gu5Zb9tvoU

Re #COP26 and lack of action & expected outcomes. Don't wait for the COP (ever): meet with your national negotiating team. Find out who they are, what their positions and pressures are. Make them accountable to your movements. https://t.co/GhvF326AeJ
Create a personal relationship with them and their organisation so they feel the pressure of scrutiny and accountability.
Presence and protesting at COPs is good, sure, and encourages media scrutiny. But pressuring your govt negotiators and shifting their position is even better.
If you want to have an impact, now and in the future? Find out who YOUR national negotiators are. Insist on meeting with them, demand to discuss their plans, present your own.
Why? Because the "objections" were always, entirely, professionally, and verrrry cleverly couched in scientific terms. They focused their lasers on the science and like cats we followed their pointer and their lead.
What's your best analogy or metaphor to explain how misleading it is to argue that those who advocate for climate action must be entirely carbon-free themselves first?

@fleroy1974 @clim8resistance @elleprovocateur @nodealfornature @vbadpanda Pollution is real. It kills many, will kill many more & must be curbed. Everyone can agree on that?

A take I’ve been meaning to do at full length but will just toss off half-assed here for now is that some of what progressives conceptualize as a debate about race and racism plays to a lot of people as a debate about patriotism.
If Trump is a clownish, inept, floundering figure then sure — swing for the fences, take your shot, and aim for true greatness accepting that you might lose.

@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn And I should say, inflammatory in both directions, since its underlying premise — if I’m right about what you think here — is that the American electorate contains a huge amount of anti-black racism that Democrats have to tread carefully around.
@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn But since Democrats do need to attract those voters, and the party is already coded as “racially liberal” (to put it politely), directly addressing black concerns over racism ends up alienating the “50-year-old white people” who say are in the driver’s seat of American politics.
@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn So this makes me think that the reason people keep saying your point is banal is that you’re not actually stating your point.
As I read you, you’re saying something like “Democrats are undermining themselves by making ‘attitudes about black people’ a salient political concern.”

At the very least, the Democrats are proving that they are not nearly organized enough to pull off that big socialist vote-rigging coup that FOX nuts are always screaming about.

if you get triggered, feel attacked, defensive, want to fight back, etc, it’s generally best to just log out for a day or three, or a week. Most people who say shit just wanna say shit in the moment but don’t really care about you and will forget about you soon enough
generally speaking, the more touchy, difficult, triggering etc the thought might be, the more I advise that you be really circuitous about it. be long-winded, take many tweets, be verbose, be tedious, illegible. you want to bore the people who are itching for a fight
